![]() ![]() Pre-Body Composition Course Results InBody Results (before) I had this conduced by Gavin Attorre who is a fellow director at SOS Athletic Excellence and a Poliquin course practitioner. This gave me tons of data on my starting point including weight, Skeletal Muscle Mass, Body Fat Mass, Body Mass Index, Body Fat %, Segmental Lean Muscle Mass, Visceral Body Fat and Basal Metabolic Rate. – BioSignature: This measured by body fat on the calipers and provided data on Lean Mass, Fat Mass and Total Body Fat %. Fortunately we have one at SOS Athletic Excellence. To measure body fat we used: – InBody 770: This £14,000 Body Composition machine claims to be 99.2% in-line with DEXA scans. No need to look at what the evidence says, this was simply an experiment on myself. So before starting I had my body fat measured and before photos taken. I have personally seen clients add lean muscle and lose fat tissue at the same time. But just how much lean mass can you build in a short time period and how much body fat can you lose too? Enrolling on the Poliquin Body Composition Course allowed me to put this question to the test. Many old school lifters may claim you should aim to ‘bulk’ – a process of building muscle (where fat mass gains are inevitable) and then ‘cut’ – a process of losing body fat (where losing some muscle mass is inevitable). I knew that this was an outdated concept from my own experience. These include: – Training age – Nutrition – Sleep quality – Muscle fibre dominance – Tecnhnical proficiency – Motivation and determination – Optimal Training program – Quality of supplementation Some people say that adding muscle and losing fat simultaneously is difficult. What results are actually possible within a short period of time? There are many different factors which will affect someone’s ability to lose body fat and build muscle tissue in a short time period. ![]()
